But, this feature shouldn't be too hard to add using albino or pygments.rb. I tried poking around org-ruby's code a little bit, but hit a roadblock, which was a bit too much for my limited ruby skills. I'll open an issue on org-ruby and see where it goes. >> Only sufficient demand for org-documents will foster betterment I guess. >> > > Yes I realise that.

I've tweeted to them at least a couple of times (in the past few months) regarding this, but haven't yet got any response from them. May be someone should send an email to support@github.com. I got back replies for other things in about a week or so, on email. In general, GitHub staff seem like a nice bunch of people to me. Thanks! Puneeth
